Feeling a kick? Pregnant Zara Phillips tenderly touches bump just weeks before birth
IT LOOKS like Zara Phillips may have felt a baby kick or three during a day at the races, as the expectant Royal tenderly kept touching her stomach.
The 32-year-old was seen frequently placing her hand on her blossoming tummy as she attended the Paddy Power Gold Cup day at Cheltenham Racecourse.
Wearing a beige sweater, the snugly-fit jumper rested over Zara's bump, with the mother-to-be prodding and stroking her belly, before placing a hand on her forehead as if a little distressed.
Keeping warm in a faux fur-trim winter coat, the Queen's granddaughter looked effortlessly elegant with her pregnancy glow.
It's no surprise the baby may have been kicking, considering the excitement of the day.
Zara had been watching husband Mike Tindall's horse Monbeg Dude run in the Murphy Group Handicap Steeple Chase; ridden by her former boyfriend Richard Johnson.
The Olympic silver medallist has been soldiering on despite her pregnancy, even competing at a charity polo match in July while three months gone.
At the time, Zara's spokesman said: "She is being sensible about this and is listening to what doctors are telling her. She would never put her pregnancy in jeopardy."
It is believed she will give birth in the New Year, giving little Prince George a playmate.
